Friends of Bob, ladies and gents

I am a terrible, terrible person

New Music XXII 1/2

Other Things I'm Enjoying This Week:

Badly Drawn Boy's Photographing Snowflakes

(Part 1 in his trilogy "It's What I'm Thinking")

Lovers' Darklight

(Gloriously melancholy Tegan-&-Sara-with-a-drum-machine Oregonian synth-pop.  I love you Carolyn Berk!  Call me?)

Hot Panda's How Come I'm Dead

(I can't even pin this one down--it's all over the place.  I hear Art Brut, the Lovely Feathers, Spinto Band, the Lupin soundtrack and who knows what else. I love the basslines, though, and I kinda sorta maybe wanna makeout with Chris Connelly)

Black Heart Procession's Blood Bunny/Black Rabbit

(Dismal, dark, depressing...with saws! I always dig the creepfest.  "Amore del Tropico" is still my favorite, though)

Also, those of you who still haven't listened to Janelle Monae need to get with it! 

(I love a woman in a tuxedo)

Local Music!

Jurassic Park

Our friend Jeff's Jurassic Park is a "DIY Music Venue" in West Lafayette. 

You should totally check it out!

 (Jeff is awesome)

I am

The new Belle & Sebastian album Write About Love is glorious!  It's cheeky and happy and everything I've been missing since they took a break back in 2008, mod-pop and all.    It's ridiculous how happy this album makes me.

New Music XXXXII

Shelf Worthy This Week:

Apache Beat's Last Chants

Katie Costello's The City in Me EP

Soars' self-titled debut

Clinic's Bubblegum

Let's see: dark, minimalist indie-pop; earnest avian chanteuseing; dreamy shoegaze; and, well, Clinic.  Life is good.

********************************

Shelf-Worthy Last Week (in case you missed it):

Ben Folds & Nick Hornby: Lonely Avenue

Neil Young: Le Noise

Deerhunter: Halcyon Digest

David says to tell you all that Deerhunter's latest is his favorite so far this year.
